Junior UX/UI Designer

Public sector agencies, utilities and large health systems licence our asset management platform under multi-year contracts. On-call rotates weekly and pays a flat stipend whether or not the pager goes off.

About the role:

The Junior UX/UI Designer will design end-to-end product flows, from rough sketches to final specs in Figma.

Your responsibilities:

• Design user flows, wireframes and high-fidelity screens in Figma.
• Review implemented UI with engineers and file polish tickets.
• Check analytics after launch to see how designs perform.
• Work with product managers to define problems and success measures.

Required qualifications:

• 1-2 years of product or UX design experience on digital products.
• Comfort running basic user research and usability tests.
• Portfolio showing process, not just final screens.
• Working knowledge of WCAG accessibility guidelines.
• Used to working directly with engineers in an Agile team.
• Ability to explain design decisions to non-designers.
• Expert in Figma, including auto layout, components and variants.

Preferred qualifications:
